He who tries to protect himself from deception is often cheated, even when most on his guard.

We can more easily endure that which shames than that which vexes us.

Things we not hope for often come to pass than things we wish.

Let a man who wants to find abundance of employment procure a woman and a ship: for no two things do produce more trouble if you begin to equip them; neither are these two things ever equipped enough.

In everything the middle road is best.

He who tries to protect himself from deception is often cheated, even when most on his guard.

To love is human, it is also human to forgive.
